Jon Gorospe 's (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1986) project "Crossing the Curtain" continues his visual investigation into boundaries: those that separate, filter, and, at the same time, allow passage. As a continuation of the exhibition "Crossing the Threshold" (Alcobendas Art Center, 2025), this exhibition shifts the focus to the curtain as both a symbolic and material figure: a surface that doesn't close off, but rather veils. The curtain appears here as a space of tension between the visible and the hidden, between what persists and what is about to disappear.
The screen prints in the "Veiled City" series capture fragments of a city in the process of disappearing: partial architecture, traces, and urban remnants that survive thanks to our tenacity. These images engage in dialogue with photographs of stage curtains from public performance venues, ephemeral structures that transform the everyday into a performance. At this intersection, the city emerges as a theatrical territory, where urban memory is covered, shifted, and reconfigured.
Crossing the curtain implies accepting the unstable condition of contemporary urban space. The exhibition invites us to inhabit the moment before revelation, when the image still holds the possibility of what was and what could be. In that "in-between," the work positions itself as a gesture of observation and resistance, an attempt to make visible that which, even veiled, insists on remaining.
